Ingredients

Quick info

Servings: 1 latte (300 ml)
Prep time: 5 minutes
Total time: 5 minutes

Ingredients list

1 teaspoon matcha powder (ceremonial-grade for best flavor)
60 ml warm water (~80°C, not boiling)
200 ml warm plant-based milk (oat or almond)
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
Pinch of vanilla (extract or powder)
Optional: 1 scoop collagen powder

Preparation

Sift the matcha into a mug to prevent lumps.
Add 60 ml of warm (not boiling!) water.
Whisk with a matcha whisk (chasen) or milk frother in zigzag motions until frothy (30 sec).
Heat the plant-based milk and froth it with a milk frother.
Pour the milk over the matcha.
Stir in honey and vanilla.

Why this recipe works

Matcha naturally provides ~50 mg L-theanine + ~70 mg caffeine per teaspoon — a perfect 1:1 ratio for alert relaxation (without the jitters). EGCG is a powerful antioxidant. Vanilla and honey for mild sweetness without a blood sugar spike.

Tips & variations

For caffeine-sensitive: use half dose of matcha + extra L-theanine
Variation: add cocoa for a matcha-mocha version
For brain-stack: add Lion's Mane powder
For extra focus: take an additional 1 VitalsL-Theanine 200mg capsule with a glass of water, do not mix into the matcha (capsules are not meant to be opened).
